About this fabric

The densely arranged design combines curling charcoal-blue stems, narrow cream leaves and small cream, blue and muted yellow flowers in a repeating botanical trail. Its mineral-blue ground reads cool and softly weathered rather than bright, with the linen-toned details creating gentle contrast across the surface. At 230 gsm and 137 cm usable width, this is a versatile mid-weight fabric suited to both upholstery and drapery. The pattern repeats every 53 cm vertically and 27 cm horizontally, giving the floral layout a clearly visible but not oversized scale.

How to use it

Pair the cool mineral-blue ground with chalky neutrals, pale oak and washed linen for a calm botanical scheme. Use it on a reading-chair cushion or full-length curtains where the cream foliage can catch the light.

Use this cool mineral-blue floral for softly tailored upholstery, relaxed curtains or layered country interiors.

Paint that goes with it

Two ways to take the room. Both colours are from houses we hold, so a pot can come off the same order as the cloth. Screens shift colour, so treat these as a direction and bring the cloth to the shelf before you buy the paint.
